DEREK O’Connor dominated the opening session of the two-day Kinsale meeting at Farrangalway on Saturday evening by partnering a sparkling treble and this season’s southern regional champion excelled by bringing the Jim Dreaper-trained Attribution (7/2) from well off the pace to win the four-mile open.

Attribution, a former 143-rated chaser when trained by Henry de Bromhead for Gigginstown House Stud, previously finished second behind Sambremont at Loughbrickland in mid-April and he was held up well off the pace as Sydney Paget took the nine runners along.
